After retirement, is a monthly pension from CalPERS considered earned income?

I'm asking because I'm getting killed by Trump's tax.  I'm trying to plan, inside your program, what my taxable income will be (for estimated tax purposes) for a monthly pension.  Essentially, is a monthly fixed pension check the same as a month paycheck from my old employer.  Thank you.

Nope, retirement is UNearned income.
